About the Event

Join in on the Holiday Fun as we continue this Holiday Running Charity Tradition!

You will be running approximately 3.1 miles through the neighborhoods of Pitman with the brightest and most colorful lights! Participants will receive custom "Light Run" signature gift and a drink ticket for the after party!

Holiday After Party will be at Merryman's Pub in Pitman.

The race supports Pitman Parks & Recreation. We will also accept unwrapped toy donations at the beginning of the run for Toys for Tots. So donate if you can - but not required.

Please Note - This is a FUN RUN, not a Race! It is not timed and roads are not closed. The majority of run can take place on sidewalks. Pedestrian laws should be followed. All ages are welcome, but children should be accompanied by an adult.

This Run is Co-Sponsored by Mean Guy Running and Good Day for a Run.
